News: Returning to the Tri-State Area After Visiting WDW? Plan For a 14-Day Quarantine

Guests fill Main Street in front of Cinderella Castle at Disney World on a sunny day as the Orange County Mayor urges mask-wearing.

As we prepare for the Walt Disney World parks to reopen in Florida, we have a little twist in plans, particularly for guests visiting from New York, New Jersey or Connecticut. If you come visit Florida or several other states listed below, you will be under a 14-day quarantine when you return home or visit the Tri-state area.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo, announced New York, Connecticut and New Jersey will require visitors from states including Florida with high infection rates to quarantine for 14 days. “We now have to make sure the rates continue to drop,” Cuomo said. “We also have to make sure the virus doesn’t come on a plane again.”

Cuomo announced what was called a “travel advisory” at a briefing jointly via video feeds with New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, both fellow Democrats. The states’ health departments will provide details of how the rule will work, Murphy said.

Visitors from states over a set infection rate will have to quarantine, Cuomo said. As of Wednesday, states over the threshold were Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Utah and Texas.
